After always having to clip up and store my disconnects and then the clip braking and having to use zip ties and rope the last two times ive gone wheeling I decided it was finally time to come up with a permeant solution to keep them out of the way. 

Heres the Parts I used

• 1- 1/4" threaded tubing from lowes about 6" long "in the hardware section"
• 2- 1/4" Nuts
• 2- 1/4" standard washers
• 2 -1/4" extra wind washers
• 2- 1/4" Wingnuts
• Tap and Dye loaner set from auto zone
• and a 1/4" drill bit

Mm plan was to drill a 1/4" hole into my frame then use a tap and thread it in order to insert my rod into then slide the quick disconnects on and tighten them up.

Once I got down to start I noticed that by removing the stock wrangler plastic front swaybar cover it left the two holes that the swaybar cover drilled into the frame and they were exactly 1/4"! Its always nice when something goes easier then planned because it sure doesnt happen very often! 

Heres a picture of what the hole looks like left over from the swaybar cover removed

Now that the hole was all ready there threaded and ready to use I cut two 3" pieces off of the threaded tubing (NOTE if your disconnects are wider then mine were you will need to cut off a bigger piece) and threaded about an inch into the frame then slipped the normal washer on then tightened it to hold on with the 1/4" nut

then with that secured I slipped on my quick disconnects and then slipped on the large washer to hold it in place and then threaded on the wing nut so I can do it by hand on the trail. 

Worked great and was only about $4 from lowes!
